Taylor Swift’s remarkable success continues as she matches Madonna’s record for the most number one albums by a female artist in UK chart history. Swift’s latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ has taken the top spot, adding to her impressive tally of 12 number one albums in the UK. This achievement places Swift in a league of her own as the only artist to have achieved this milestone in the 21st century.
‘The Tortured Poets Department’ offers a glimpse into Swift’s personal life and pays homage to her past relationships with Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy of The 1975. Upon its release, the album broke records on Spotify, amassing over 300 million streams in just one day. Its sales in its first week surpassed even Swift’s previous record set by her album ‘Midnights.’
Meanwhile, Pearl Jam’s ‘Dark Matter’ holds the second position on the UK albums chart, while Beyoncé’s ‘Act II: Cowboy Carter’ sits at number three. Additionally, Swift’s single ‘Fortnight,’ featuring Post Malone, has secured the number one spot on the UK singles charts, further solidifying her dominance in the music industry.
